BeanBay Green Bean Release - September and then extra added for October 2014
Available in BeanBay now...
Costa Rica Santa Elena Tarrazu
This bean hails from the Santa Elena Estate in Tarrazu. Washed and high grade (SHB) this is an easy roasting bean that produces a bright and balanced espresso with a good body. It really shines in milk based drinks where the higher acidity cuts through the milk making the resulting coffee sweet with a long dry finish. An excellent Central American coffee.
Uganda Kisoro AA
This high grown Ugandan Arabica is washed but not polished and then screened to a large AA size. In the roaster this is easy to roast but expect plenty of chaff. In the cup it has a subtle acidity and heavy body that made a great double espresso and a syrupy ristretto. This worked best for me roasted to a CS10 depth where the cocoa range of flavours dominate. Excellent value coffee.
Venezuela San Cristobal Lavado Fino
Is a very large screen, washed and well processed bean from an unusual coffee origin. Easy to roast with good acidity and body makes this a great single origin for milk based drinks. Very high grade and large screen beans that expand to peanut size when roasted. South American coffee that cups like a Central, great looking and beautiful drinking.
Colombia La Esperanza Gesha Cerro Azul
Colombia Cafe Granja La Esperanza Gesha Cerro Azul Grand Crue. This "Blue Mountain Geisha" (Gesha) coffee is possibly one of the very best coffees in the country at the moment and certainly the most amazing Colombian coffee I've ever tried.
Easy to roast, and at a CS8 it was a floral explosion off the grinder, sweet and balanced in the cup with a mid-high bodied viscosity that felt like velvet. Wow, pity this is too expensive to drink every day. I've done some experimentation in roast depths and a couple of different brew methods and every one of them is a stunner.
It won the Coffee of the Year and Roasters Guild National Championship at the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) and according to the farm, Kenneth Davids scored it a monster 96.5

PNG Wahgi AA
Well washed, sorted and sized this is a really easy bean to roast and the results work well through a number of roast depths and brewing styles. Bright and acidic at CS8, Sweet at CS9, full of cocoa at CS10. I like it as an doppio espresso at CS9 where it's still has some lingering brightness but this coffee really shines best in milk based drinks.
All the above beans are packed in 2.5kg zippered cotton bags (with the exception of the Colombian Geisha which is in 1kg foil bag lots), perfect for storage for up to 3 years when kept in a cool, dark and dry position. We ship out from the Snobbery Monday to Thursday and BeanBay will show the shipping options to your area. We do recommend that you ship to an attended address (eg: work) to avoid delivery delays.
Enjoy!
